spectacle of local festive displays such as the yearly religious pardons at St. Anne de Palud. But
instead of understanding ritual festivities on the Brittany coast as simply the encounter of an
outsider and his or her rural other, we can read these events…[Read more]

Although bearing witness to strenuous work, as a subject of representation it cannot summon the sort of national pride invested in fertile agricultural landscapes, industrious windmills and aqueducts; quarried land is an intervention better off forgotten. When depleted, it is typically…[Read more]

How can the work of contemporary artists animate a collection of historical and locally specific objects? This paper takes up these questions by a close reading of an installation in Saint-Brieuc, along with the collections of two ecomuseums in…[Read more]

community museums and historical sites dedicated to local social history in
coastal Brittany. There, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries,
Breton maritime culture invented a range of compensatory ritual objects, sites
and practices to account for…[Read more]

Breton popular beliefs put the dead and living in close proximity and this was expressed in a range of visual culture that c…[Read more]

Yet Symbolist painters were resolutely modern—among them French artists Alexandre Séon and Odilon Redon, or Americans Arthur Math…[Read more]

In Breton churchyards, prior to the First World War, the ossuary, or charnel house (located in the churchyard or attached to the church), was the receptacle of bones of the dead taken f…[Read more]

Coming from a visual studies perspective, I am interested in articulating an ecological realism of the French Atlantic coast: looking at the…[Read more]
